Attar to Jordanian Delegation: It is Time for Jordan to Stop Siding with Syria’s Enemies
DAMASCUS- The money paid by Arab reactionary regimes to finance terrorism in Syria had better been dedicated for development purposes in the Arab world and for establishing scientific and cultural institutions, Vice President Najah al-Attar has underscored.
Al-Attar, whose remarks were made during a meeting on Wednesday with a Jordanian delegation comprising intellectuals and civil national figures, reiterated the important role intellectuals can play in disseminating awareness about the schemes targeting the Arab nation’s present and future.
“The terrorist war facing Syria won’t affect the national principled stances of the Syrian state towards the Arab causes mainly the Palestinian cause,” al-Attar said, pointing out that the Syrian and Jordanian peoples are linked to each others with strong fraternity and amity relations.
The vice president went on to say “we in Syria wonder how Jordan, Syria’s brotherly country, could allow the terrorists to cross into Syria after being financed and armed.”
“No one imagined that Jordan would accept the US decision to train terrorists on the Jordanian lands and get them ready to fight in Syria,” she added.
Al-Attar pointed out that the displaced Syrian families staying in camps at the Syrian-Jordanian borders are suffering difficult conditions and ill-treatment by Jordanian authorities.
She hailed the national stances of many Jordanian people who refuse the terrorist takfiri aggression on Syria.
“It is time for Jordan to adopt a different stance and not to take the side of Syria’s enemies and the conspirators from Western and some Arab countries that financed and supported terrorists, because the danger of terrorism may expand to target all without exceptions,” the Vice President stressed.
Al-Attar regretted that the so-called Arab League (AL) has been turned into a tool in the hands of the oil-rich Gulf countries which paid huge amounts of money to affect the AL’s agendas and control its decisions.
She pointed out that “today the so-called “moderate opposition” is openly dealing with Israel and repeatedly appealing for foreign military intervention in Syria, an intervention that is strongly rejected by every honest Syrian citizen.”
On his part, Chairman of the Jordanian-Syrian Fraternity Society and head of the visiting delegation Sami al-Majali said “Syria will continue to be Jordan’s strategic depth, because the dangerous war facing the Syrian people will have repercussions on the Jordanian people who have realized how huge the conspiracy on Syria is.”
“The visit of the delegation, which represents different spectra of the Jordanian national movement, affirms the Jordanian people’s support for the Syrian people and their rejection of Jordan’s being a crossing for the terrorists to go to Syria, al-Majali added.
Some members of the guest delegation pointed out that many Jordanians have studied in Syria and graduated from its universities and today they are voicing their support for the Syrians in their confrontation of the ongoing terrorist war.
They regretted some unjustified Arab stances against Syria’s leading role in the region, stressing that the victory of the Syrian Arab Army in its battle against terrorism and against its supporters is inevitable thanks to the steadfastness of the Syrian people and the cohesion between the Syrian army, people and leadership.
